About Hannah
Hannah Light is a counsellor who blends somatic work with person-centred listening. She holds BACP accreditation and brings seven years of professional experience. Hannah focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and grief in straightforward, practical ways.
She creates a calm space where clients can notice how the body and feelings connect. Sessions often include gentle attention to breath, posture and bodily sensation alongside talking. This helps people understand emotions that show up as physical tension or sleep problems.
Background and approach
Hannah draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when relationship pain, intimacy issues or communication problems are present. Mindfulness practices are offered to build grounding and reduce rumination.
Her experience covers a wide range of concerns including depression, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and career uncertainty. Hannah also supports people working with body image, life purpose, ageing and end-of-life issues. She uses language that is simple and direct to make sessions easy to follow.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. The starting process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site's booking flow. Hannah aims to help people find calmer, clearer ways to live day to day.
How somatic and emotion-focused work translates online
Somatic Therapy helps people notice how feelings show up in the body, such as tightness, breath changes or discomfort. Online sessions may include guided attention to breath, gentle movement suggestions and noticing bodily signals while talking, which can help with stress, sleep problems and chronic pain.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and following what the person brings to the session. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and feel more understood, which can ease anxiety and support life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as trust develops and needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and allow people to continue therapy from home. Many clients find switching between video and messaging helpful as their needs change.
